This is why I stopped playing Blizzard Games. MightyYT Send a noteboard - 30/05/2012 06:13:34 AM
The enjoyment I get from the games is not equal or greater to my frustration at HAVING to be connected to the internet in order to play BY MYSELF. And no amount of justification will correct the problem or change my mind because all of the arguements I have heard thus far derive from the land of Fallacy.
Castle: This is so weird. I dressed up as him for Halloween.

Beckett: Me too.

It's to stop "pirates." And by "pirates," I mean, "people who play used games." *NM* Aemon - 30/05/2012 04:31:22 AM 603 Views
Scary that in order to curb one practice - they are alienating a whole section ... Roonas - 05/06/2012 08:30:15 AM 1269 Views
Close... it's for control, for a variety of reasons. "piracy" and the used game market are the tip lord-of-shadow - 07/06/2012 03:21:58 AM 1220 Views
Fair enough. I guess used-game concerns are more of a console thing. *NM* Aemon - 07/06/2012 03:54:47 AM 645 Views

why was it a poor business choice? The game sold well LadyLorraine - 05/06/2012 07:58:13 PM 1544 Views
You need to have followed the whole story a bit more to understand. Aemon - 05/06/2012 09:14:48 PM 1124 Views
mk fair enough then *NM* LadyLorraine - 06/06/2012 01:32:15 AM 890 Views

I think it's just the first thing that pops to mind LadyLorraine - 07/06/2012 04:56:51 PM 1705 Views

The funny thing is... Wibble - 30/05/2012 07:48:49 PM 1253 Views
The difference I see is that Steam has an offline mode that (mostly) works. D3 has none. *NM* Zalis - 30/05/2012 08:09:40 PM 623 Views
yah...I only recently got into Steam. and ONLY because I've been moving a lot LadyLorraine - 30/05/2012 09:01:31 PM 1499 Views
It's still a good thing, the problem is that we're in a period of transition. Aemon - 30/05/2012 09:26:46 PM 1267 Views
The biggest issues I see right now are bandwith caps & speed. Zalis - 30/05/2012 09:44:10 PM 1245 Views
Oh sure, I agree. We're definitely not there yet. Aemon - 31/05/2012 01:17:58 AM 1297 Views

Sorry for your troubles, but you're something of an outlier. Aemon - 31/05/2012 07:31:53 PM 1210 Views
Hmm ... that's scary ... Roonas - 05/06/2012 09:21:42 AM 1229 Views
are you unaware that some people do drive to the bus-station anyway? LadyLorraine - 31/05/2012 02:36:22 AM 1567 Views
I don't think I've ever used an analogy on the internet that people didn't complain about. Aemon - 31/05/2012 04:46:17 AM 1075 Views
lol, yah, I just couldn't help it for the sake of the continuity of internet stereotypes *NM* LadyLorraine - 31/05/2012 02:17:05 PM 771 Views

Stuff like D3's always-on DRM and phone home schemes in no way contribute to that future. lord-of-shadow - 07/06/2012 03:26:08 AM 1171 Views
